About Amanda
Amanda Alleman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of professional experience. She has worked with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, depression, and addiction-related issues. Amanda also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related difficulties.
She works from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on practical steps and the client’s strengths. Conversations are direct and straightforward, with an emphasis on what can change now. Amanda aims to reduce overwhelm and help people regain a sense of control.
Her background includes a mix of clinical and community settings across the last decade plus. That range has exposed her to a variety of family and relationship patterns, and to issues such as caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and adoption and foster care questions. Amanda has also worked with people navigating substance use and recovery concerns.
Her main methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. In practice this means listening first, then trying small experiments, changing unhelpful thoughts, and setting concrete short-term goals. Sessions often include problem-solving, reflective questions, and step-by-step planning.
People who come to Amanda usually want clear, practical help for life at home. She supports adults who are trying to handle parenting pressures, repair relationships, or manage mood and behavior patterns that affect daily life. To start, readers are asked to use the platform steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Amanda uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and valuing the client’s perspective. It helps people clarify what matters to them and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches suit issues like anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with parenting stress or relationship tension.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which techniques to try first. That collaborative process means trying small steps, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what the platform requires. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, or weekend routines. It also allows short check-ins and follow-up conversations without travel, which can help keep progress steady between longer sessions.
